Volare! - The Very Best Of The Gipsy Kings

The Best of the Gipsy Kings Hailing from the Reyes and Baliardo Gypsy families, this ensemble from the south of France has been playing "rumba flamenca" since the late 1980s. With this 1995 compilation, the songwriting talent and virtuosity this unique group possesses were gathered together in one comprehe...	Pasajero With the feeling of an old-fashioned, locally produced radio show picked up accidentally while touring through the Andes, the Kings' latest excursion into their patented high-spirited rumba-flamenca harbors a strong South American bias, complete with a chiming charango (armadill...	Cantos de Amor The multi-million selling Gipsy Kings showcase the romantic side of their repertoire with "Cantos de Amor," drawing from their extensive catalogue of albums to date. Many favorite songs including "Un Amor," "Tu Quieres Volver," and "Love and Liberte" are featured, as well as the ...	Roots The Gipsy Kings are never going to have the kind of critical acclaim that Paco de Lucia has, but their popularization of poppy rumba flamenca among non-Spanish speakers is nothing to be ashamed of. Nonetheless, here on Roots, the octet turns back to the tradition while making the...	Gipsy Kings More than any other band, the Gipsy Kings are responsible for the renewed interest in gypsy music, and this is the album that broke them through to the international mainstream. Although their carefully crafted music is not "pure" gypsy, their impassioned performances create a wi...

Love & Liberte	Buena Vista Social Club Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special.

New GK Fan
I am a new fan of the Gypsy Kings. Do I like the CD? YES. Would I go see them in concert? YES I give them 5 stars. (although my review only shows 1)I was unable to edit that part!

The Gipsy Kings "Very Best Of..."
Not a bad song on any of these CDs!! They all bring to mind a sultry evening in some spanish-speaking part of the world. Lilting lyrics, fast and slow conga rythms with impeccable spanish guitar work. CD#1 of the "The Very Best of..." is raucous and fast-paced, while disk #2 is more gentle and relaxing. You will have images of banana and palm trees swaying in the breezes while you relax in some spanish hacienda,cafe or cantina. Break out the premium hand-made cigars and pour up the rum or tequilla!! The Gipsy Kings are an awsome band and will bring any party to life. These CDs are "must-haves" for any serious cigar aficianado!

Too Much of a Good Thing
I really enjoy this compilation. However, it would have worked much better as a single-disc collection.

OMG this album rocks
This album opens my heart and makes me feel alive. You can't go wrong.

Spanish Flamenco Meets Salsa Funk.
Listening to the Gipsy Kings is like drinking pastis on a warm Mediterranean evening in the south of France. The Gipsy Kings are a Rumba Flamenca group formed from two related families from Arles and Montpellier, France. Their music is a blend of Spanish flamenco, guitar-tapping Latin rhythms, and salsa funk, and their songs involve themes of life, love, and death. We write songs that make pretty girls dance, singer-guitarist Nicolas Reyes says. Other Gipsy King members include Paul Reyes, Canut Reyes, Patchai Reyes, Andre Reyes, Diego Baliardo, Paco Baliardo, Tonino Baliardo, all on vocals and guitars. This two-disc compliation is Definitive Gypsy Kings, including career-spanning songs from their Allegria (1982) album through Cantos de Amor (1998). Tracks include: 1. Volare 3:38 2. Bamboleo 3:23 3.
